However, when
these cattle were put
into Israel’s hostile
desert environment
where there is little
or no grass the odds
were against them.

4.
European beef cattle
suffered from poor
disease resistance,
genetic diseases
and high losses due
to predators.

5.
The farmers
experienced higher
feed costs, requiring
non-native feeds be
imported, because
these cattle will not
eat the non-native
invasive shrubs, or
invasive cactus.

6.
Their calf losses
have been as high
as 30% along with
low reproduction
rates.

7.
These beef cattle
have demonstrated
poor mothering skills
and a high rate of
birth complications.

8.
Because of the high
losses, more cattle
are required on
pasture, resulting in
more environmental
damage.

9.
Kenya and East Africa
have suffered massive
animal and livestock
die off due to drought,
over grazing, poor
management of water
resources, poor cattle
management and
using the wrong type
of cattle in their arid
environments.

Ancestral beginnings started some 6,500 years ago on the
shores of the Black Sea then migrating down through the
deserts of the Middle East circling back through Europe, the
Mediterranean and Africa.
In a Minoan, Knossos palace, there is a 5,000-year-old
painting of what closely compares to a Longhorn.
Columbus and Spanish settlers brought Longhorn to the
Americas in about 1493. These Longhorns thrived in the
harsh semi-arid climate of Mexico and South Texas.
Indian raids, diseases and harsh elements destroyed the
Spanish settlements, releasing herds of cattle to freely roam
the southwest. These same cattle formed the genetic base of
today’s American herds and the Longhorn breed.
Nearly 500 years of natural selection in these desert
environments has produced today’s Texas Longhorn.

11.

Longhorns can eat invasive shrubs and cacti which are
overwhelming the Galilee

Longhorns have higher reproduction rates and very low loss rates

Longhorns have excellent calving and mothering abilities

Longhorns can go further and longer with less water

Longhorns solve the problem of rising feed costs

Longhorns protect their calves from predators

Longhorns are highly resistant to diseases

One Texas Longhorn Embryo cost $ 650.
1st year start-up cost estimated to be $ 375K.
2nd-4th year additional total costs estimated at $ 200K.
To be financially self supporting at the 5th year.
Free use of highly valuable land and scientists.
Internship opportunities will be made available to
Agricultural University, college and high school students in
America and Israel.
Volunteer opportunities will also be available as herd riders,
calf-care, research assistants, general ranch help.


To help Israel and East Africa by introducing a viable breed of
beef cattle that can fit and can thrive in their semi-desert
environments. That breed would be the Texas Longhorn.

We will demonstrate through scientific experimentation that these
cattle can thrive in Israel’s semi-desert environment.

We will teach the ranchers, farmers and villagers how to work
with these cattle.

We then, donate cattle to those farms, ranches, villages and
schools that need them.

This herd will support the projects’ charitable, scientific and
educational activities.

To help make this world a better place and to become
part of Jewish History.
